Several months ago, the video game peripheral manufacturer Hyperkin announced plans to revive “The Duke”–that is, the original controller for the very first Xbox–for use with Microsoft’s current generation consoles. As seen in the tweet below from the original Xbox designer Seamus Blackley, The Duke remake from Hyperkin will be available sometime at the end of March, and set players back $70 should they choose to purchase it. According to Hyperkin, the controller will not only be compatible with

According to a listing from a Portuguese retailer, God of War will release for PS4 on March 22, 2018. March 22nd does seem like the perfect date to release the new God of War since it would be exactly 13 years after the release of the first game in the series. Not to mention, Sony released Horizon Zero Dawn in late February to strong sales, so there is a precedent for success with a February or March release date. Ultimately, though, it’s up to Sony when the publisher wants to announce a release

At the tail end of 2017, we reported on the disastrous news of an innocent man being shot and killed after getting inadvertently tied to a swatting “prank” gone horribly wrong following an online Call of Duty match. After this incident, an arrest was later made, and now the suspect has officially been charged with involuntary manslaughter for having his hand in the events that led to a person’s death. While making his first court appearance in Witchita, Kansas, Tyler Barriss, a 25-year-old from

Now, it looks as if gamers living stateside will also have a chance to purchase another Pokemon-themed product that was originally exclusive to the Eastern country, as the Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition has received a US release date of January 26, 2018. As seen in the artwork below, the Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition is aimed directly at Pokemon fans, as the adorable Electric-type’s face on the hardware will no doubt cause a spark of joy to be felt in their hearts. In addition to the launch o

Today, Bandai Namco and Arc System Works released a brand new trailer for Dragon Ball FighterZ that featured Beerus, the God of Destruction, absolutely tearing into the competition, which sent fans of the DBZ franchise into a frenzy in anticipation over the game’s forthcoming open beta. Now, in order to let players prepare for the trial period, the publisher and developer have made the beta client available for download on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As seen in the tweet below from Bandai N

Xur is back for Destiny 2 players to spend their Legendary Shards on a selection of exotic armor, a unique exotic weapon, and a few special Xur-only consumables. Xur’s exotic armor selection this week includes The Stag helmet for Warlocks, the Shinobu’s Vow gauntlets for Hunters, and the Mk. All three of the exotic armor pieces are new exotics introduced (or re-introduced from Destiny 1) to Destiny 2 with the launch of the Curse of the Osiris DLC. Back in Destiny 1, the exotic was a huge boon to

Another Dragon Ball FighterZ character trailer has just dropped. In true Beerus fashion, he arrives to the fight in Dragon Ball FighterZ after just waking up from a nap. In stark contrast to melee-heavy characters like Hit, Beerus has a varied repertoire of projectile attacks that is demonstrated liberally in the latest Dragon Ball FighterZ character trailer. As a reminder, the beta for Dragon Ball FighterZ begins on January 14 and will run until January 16 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Dr

However, that hasn’t stopped people from speculating about what form the next game in the series will take, including Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya, who took to Twitter to express his thoughts on Devil May Cry 5 earlier today. Kamiya feels as though it’s time for Devil May Cry to undergo a “full model change” with Devil May Cry 5, saying that the game should be like the new God of War. Looking at current global trends and the amazing graphics in recent Capcom games, the next DMC game could

While exact NPD numbers aren’t available quite yet, we now know that the Xbox One outsold the PlayStation 4 in December 2017. This is according to Head of Xbox Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg, who claims that not only did the Xbox One outsell the PS4 in December 2017, but the console enjoyed its highest-ever sales for any December ever. Even with the Xbox One selling more consoles in December 2017 than it ever has before, though, it was still outperformed by the Nintendo Switch. But yes Xbox out

About a month ago, the European rating board known as PEGI officially rated the adventure game Detective Pikachu, which indicated the inevitability of the 3DS title coming to European and North American audiences. This will mark the first English-language release of Detective Pikachu, which originally launched in Japan back in winter 2016. As seen in the trailer below, Western audiences will soon be able to experience a story involving a talking Pikachu and his human sidekick as they help out Po

Ranked play for Destiny 2 has finally been given a launch window. When it comes to ranked play, the game will have two separate ranking systems for players to pursue—Valor and Glory. In addition to PvP ranks, Bungie also revealed that 6v6 playlist(s) would also be coming to Destiny 2 during the same spring timeframe. This will be a return to the format of the original Destiny 1, which had its Crucible modes primarily based on 6v6 or 3v3. This is all good news for Destiny 2, whose PvP modes has b

The Crimson Days event is making a return to Destiny 2, set to bring a whole new set of shaders, ghost shells, and other items with it starting on February 13. Crimson Days is a Valentine’s Day-themed event that made its debut in Destiny 1 and is set to make a comeback in Destiny 2. A recent leak pointed toward the return of the Crimson Doubles playlist, as well as some of the possible rewards from the Crimson Days packages. The Nightfall will also reward players with an exclusive legendary emot

Players felt like Bungie was using Bright Engrams and Eververse to serve as new content, without actually giving players much to actually do. However, Bungie will also offer Crimson Days items for completing the Nightfall, Raid, and the Crimson Days milestone including a special emote, weapon skin, and exotic sparrow. Players can also earn Crimson Engrams from Crimson Days matches and by completing the Crimson Days milestone on each character. And finally, Crimson Engrams will be weighted so tha

Although Prince of Persia was an extremely favored and well-known franchise at one point in time, the series’ popularity dwindled, particularly during the last generation of consoles. However, there’s still a chance for the property to return to its former glory, as the creator Jordan Mechner recently stated that he’s working to resurrect the franchise. As of now, even though Jordan Mechner and a coterie of supporters want to resuscitate the series, it’s not totally clear as to whether or not Ub

Although PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is still technically in early access on Xbox One, there’s no doubt that folks are anxiously awaiting its full release on the console, as it’s one of the most exciting Xbox One exclusives in 2018. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was well on its a way to growing its user base to such a large size after its launch on Xbox One, despite the game releasing in a relatively poor state on the platform last year. All things considered, while the team behind PlayerUnkno

About a month ago, leaks from Italian retailers eventually gave way to rumors regarding the last-generation game Assassin’s Creed Rogue receiving an HD remaster with the potential for release sometime in early 2018. As seen in the trailer below for Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered, players will once again step into the boots of Shay Patrick Cormac for an adventure through pre-Revolution America and the North Atlantic, but on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this time around.

Due to the recent proliferation of malfeasance and overreach by the hands of companies like EA and Activision with Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Destiny 2‘s manipulative in-game monetization schemes, Monster Hunter World fans are surely thankful that the game won’t have any kind of microtransaction or loot box system in place at launch. With this being the case, the RPG series’ producer Ryozo Tsujimoto recently decided to clear the air as to why the forthcoming title will eschew the controversial

Several days ago, Capcom released a trailer revealing new and returning Elder Dragons coming to the role-playing game Monster Hunter World while also sharing details about the title’s final beta and post-launch support.

If you played Super Mario Odyssey, then you likely noticed the countless nods to past games, including a few familiar faces. This February, Luigi’s Balloon World will add two new modes to Super Mario Odyssey, Hide It and Find It. Soon, players will be able to dress Mario up in Sunshine Shades and accompanying outfit, clearly inspired by Super Mario Sunshine. One player discovered that Super Mario Odyssey could technically be completed without jumping, which presented an interesting challenge. Su
